BioMar’s GRI Report

G&R: GRI Report (item, R pic.)

Our annual sustainability report

The GRI report creates transparency about our actions both for our customers and other stakeholders.

The report outlines BioMar's ambitious targets for sustainability, but also shows the strong commitment of the BioMar Group over the years in developing sustainable and responsible solutions throughout all its activities.

BioMar commits to public transparency of our activities through annual disclosures in accordance with the GRI G4 framework.

Code of Conduct

G&R: Code of Conduct (item, L pic.)

BioMar acknowledges that a sustainable business must be built ensuring the fundamental rights of human beings. Our Code of Conduct is essential to the way we drive our business. We require that all employees, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors comply with outlined standards and provisions.

Part of our role as a multinational company sourcing raw materials in the global market is to ensure that our suppliers as well as ourselves meet the standards detailed in our Code of Conduct.

Certifications

The single most important certification of BioMar is the ISO 9001 standard. Since 1994, BioMar A/S has been certified according to the ISO 9001 standard. In 2003, the certification was upgraded according to the revised standard - ISO 9001:2000, and in June 2018, BioMar was certified according to the 9001:2015 standard.

ISO 9001:2015 is a dynamic system, which implies that quality assurance is an ongoing process that is on the agenda every day. This ensures continuous improvement and streamlining of processes and routines. All for the benefit of both BioMar and our customers.

The quality assurance system is described in an electronic system, which all employees can access.

The abbreviation "G.A.P." in GLOBALG.A.P. stands for Good Agriculture Practice, but the certification covers both agriculture and aquaculture – and in the case of BioMar – the manufacturing of feed for aquaculture.

GLOBALG.A.P. is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification of production processes of agricultural and aquaculture products around the globe.

The GLOBALG.A.P. standard is primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimising detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.

The BioMar factory in Denmark holds a conformity statement for being approved for being in accordance with the ASC standards for Freshwater Trout, for Salmon, and for the Interim Solution for the marine raw materials used in feed.

The principles, criteria and indicators of the above ASC standards are verified at feed mill level. The approval documents show that the BioMar factory in Denmark meets the requirements for both responsible factory practices, and requirements that define parameters for responsible ingredients for the three main ingredient groups used in aqua feed: marine ingredients, terrestrial plant ingredients and terrestrial animal ingredients.

A large number of other certifications complements the ISO certifications; it can be certifications from large retailers - like the Italian COOP or French Carrefour supermarket chains - or from national authorities like the Danish Plant Directorate responsible for e.g. certifying BioMar for handling and production of feed products for organic fish production.

But common for all the certifications is that they contribute to the goal of securing that consumers can trust the quality of the fish product they eat.
